I'm looking to fully water cool my system and since it is my first endeavor into this area I would appreciate any help that I can get. First here is my system specs as it currently stands.
Motherboard: EVGA 780i
CPU: Q6700
Video Cards: 2xEVGA 8800 GTS (640MB) (SLI of course)
RAM: 4x1GB DDR2 FLEX XLC 6400
HDD: 2xWD Caviar 500GB SATA-300
I am looking to water cool my CPU, North Bridge, South Bridge, Voltage Reg, GPU, RAM, and HDD (my whole machine as a matter of fact).
My first question is that since there are soooo many different blocks out there what do you all recommend? I was leaning towards Koolance products just because they have a nice website where I put in my system and it lists the blocks for each component which for a newbie is very handy.
I'm curious as to the number and type of radiators I should be using. Also, since I am looking at cooling so much stuff, I was thinking of using at least 2 loops, plus the 2 different colors sounds like fun.
Also any ideas of a good case to use? I don't mind cutting up my case (although I've never done case mods before). I was leaning towards a Cooler Master RC-1100 Cosmos S. The only hitch I have is that I want to keep all my cooling internal or attached to the case. So please no stand alone rads or cooling systems.
Finally any other comments or suggestions you can offer would be great.
Thanks in advance for you help, time and advise.
I've got a fairly flexible budget to work with, not unlimited but within reason.
